  • Intro 1

    Verse 1
    Baby's 
    got 

    a do 
    rag 
    on 
    her 
    head 

    An old 
    banjo's 
    under 
    the bed 

    She 
    hates 
    the damn 
    thing 

    But she 
    sure enough 
    loves 
    them 
    blues 

    Verse 2
    She 
    says 
    yelling 
    at 
    a flower 

    don't 
    make 
    it bloom 

    It's 
    sunlight 
    and water 
    and elbow 
    room 

    But 
    even 
    a rose 
    has 
    got to 

    pay 
    some 
    dues 

    Now 
    the 
    Verse 3
    Cross 
    Canadian 
    Ragweed 
    band 

    Call 
    her Mother 
    Hubbard 
    you 
    understand 

    The 
    reason 
    is 
    that's 
    what 
    and who 
    she is 

    Verse 4

    This 
    mother 
    knows 
    the value 
    of 
    vapor 
    rub 

    A be
    lief 
    in 
    God 
    and 
    overdubs 

    And that 
    good 
    tone 
    is 
    more 
    import

    ant 
    than the 
    show 
    or 
    the biz 

    Show 
    business 
    is a 
    heartbreaking 
    thing 

    But 
    if 
    you got 
    good 
    tone 
    you 
    can get 

    through 
    the gig 

    Verse 5

    Soul 
    Gravy 
    and 
    literature 
    is 
    some 

    of what 
    she 
    prefer

    Her old 
    Lucky 
    jeans 
    and 
    analog 

    She 
    comes 
    to bed 
    in 
    a negligee 

    Just 
    to discuss 
    Cinema 
    Verite' 

    Verse 6
    She's 
    the only 
    woman 
    know 

    that likes 
    Reservoir 
    Dogs 

    I mean 
    liked 
    it 

    but there 
    was some 

    Scenes 
    in 
    there 
    that 
    kind 
    of 

    skived me 
    out 


    Well I 
    got 
    two 
    nickels 
    and 
    a paradigm 

    It 
    ain't 
    spelled 
    right 
    but 
    it rhymes 

    Verse 7
    I'm 
    getting 
    desperate 

    I'm about 
    to 
    derail 

    One 
    more 
    thing 
    one 
    last 

    confession 

    The mother 
    asks 
    some 
    touch 
    questions 

    Like 
    when 
    Jesus 
    went 
    to 
    heaven 

    did 
    he leave 
    vapor 
    trail? 

    Verse 8
    Uh, 
    well I 
    don't 
    rightly 
    know, 

    well 
    that's 
    too 
    deep 
    for me 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 9
    Baby's 
    got 
    a do 
    rag 
    on 
    her 
    head 

    An 
    old 
    banjo's 
    under 
    the bed 

    She 
    hates 
    the damn 
    thing 

    But 
    she 
    sure 
    enough loves 
    them 
    blues

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
